This exciting and engaging textbook introduces students to the psychology of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer lives and experiences. It covers a broad range of topics including diversity, prejudice, health, relationships, parenting and lifespan experiences from youth to old age. The book includes 'key researcher' boxes, which outline the contributions of significant individuals and their motivations for conducting their research in their own words. Key issues and debates are discussed throughout the book, and questions for discussion and classroom exercises help students reflect critically and apply their learning. There are extensive links to further resources and information, as well as 'gaps and absences' sections, indicating major limitations of research in a particular area. This is the essential textbook for anyone studying LGBTQ Psychology, Psychology of Sexuality or related courses. It is also a useful supplement to courses on Gender and Developmental Psychology.

 Review 
Braun and Clarke are extremely engaging, interesting, accessible writers, and would you believe, fun to read. I can′t recommend Thematic Analysis: a Practical Guide enough! -- Richard Devine Published On: 2021-11-12\nI feel like you’ve passed me a head torch and a shovel when I was previously just in the bottom of a mine not sure how to get out! -- Amy Partington Published On: 2021-11-10\nBraun and Clarke write in an invitational style, welcoming and accommodating a wide readership including those who are neurodivergent (...) I believe their highly accessible style of writing and their ability to unpack complex ideas and communicate them clearly and succinctly has played a large role in building their notable profiles within qualitative research circles.\nThematic Analysis: A Practical Guide 
 is set to become a classic within qualitative research and is an essential addition to the evaluator’s toolkit. -- Melissa Forbes ― 
Evaluation Journal of Australasia Published On: 2021-12-09\nWhether you are just departing, circling back, or well into your thematic analysis journey, you will find this textbook a rich resource. [...] With the use of numerous examples, you see reflexive thematic analysis come to life, bringing the practical application of the method to the forefront. This book provides the scaffolding to guide and support you on your journey, while also provoking further questions and reflection on reflexive thematic analysis. -- Lisa Trainor Published On: 2022-01-06\nThis book is a must-have for anyone thinking about or undertaking thematic analysis of data, more specifically, reflexive thematic analysis! A thoroughly useful and accessible practical guide. It contains clear definitions of terminology and explanations and makes good use of helpful boxes in each chapter to explain concepts or alert you to mistakes easily made in the process of analysing data using this method. \n-- Book User Published On: 2022-01-04\nFirst up, it’s a book that should be read by any qualitative researcher, not just those into thematic analysis. 
This is because it covers the foundations so well. Secondly, it′s an enjoyable read where, at times, you almost don’t realise you are taking things in because you are having fun. Finally, reading this book is (at the risk of extending their metaphor) like listening to two very experienced travellers when you are about to embark on your own. They don’t tell you where to go or precisely how to do it, but they fill you with confidence about your own ability to undertake what can seem like a daunting journey. -- Eileen Joy Published On: 2022-01-11
